Bath repair in Witton, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and chips under the taps, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Witton: your questions answered
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you need bath repair in Witton?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
